Great. I think this shit is 10x the strength of a 10mg hydrocodone (and yes its cool to say "Vicodin", but the drug you're actually taking is hydrocodone, vicodin is a brand name for hydros and unless you demand "Vicodin" you'll get generic hydrocodone). More drugs for people to get hooked on. Another big win for big Pharma.

i took an oxy once for 'recreational' purposes and it made me sicker than I've ever been in my life. I don't know how people get over that and become addicted.....I guess I'm just a pussy when It comes to opiates, which I am thankful for.

Right, opiates used to be prescribed strictly for terminal patients mainly...I think in the early 90's the medical community realized that there was very little done for patients with chronic pain. Opiates were seen as a means of providing more of a substantive tool for these types of patients...Doctors were encouraged to do so.

As fla-fla says, it's just not the answer when something that blocks pain also lends itself to widespread abuse, dependency, and accidental death (not to mention people resorting to using Heroin now that the medical community has had to reel in over-prescribing them). It's essentially an epidemic.

I'm like that too with most opiates. Vicodin, percoset, etc. I just feel sick to my stomach. Bleck.
